Kluber (back) was placed on the 10-day DL on Wednesday, the Cleveland Plain Dealer's Paul Hoynes reports.

EDGE Analysis

He has been battling a stiff lower back, and was placed on the DL, as expected. The soonest he could return to the rotation would be May 13 against the Twins. Reliever Joe Colon was recalled as a corresponding move, but Mike Clevinger, who pitched Tuesday (the same night as Kluber) for Triple-A Columbus, is the most logical choice to step into the rotation for Sunday's start.
